It’s a good starting point but Elasty HD also has more advanced features which would rejoice 7th art experts: image stabilization, smart special effects and retiming. Imagine all the things you could do!

The good news is Mindjet have just announced the availability of MindManager 8 for Mac. This latest generation of the product offers more functionality and better integration with native Mac applications to help increase personal productivity, better manage information and drive business results for Mac users.

Every so often an application comes along that completely changes the way I work, there has been Things for Mac, Tweetie and most recently 1Password. Today sees the release of Socialite a completely new way to work with social media.

When I boot my computer I have a number of applications that automatically load on login (Check out the tutorial on how to do this). There is my Twitter client, Google Newsreader, Flicker client and a browser to access sites such as Facebook.
